Mishel Cowart
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA
As a Highly Sensitive Person, I am well suited to assist other highly empathic people to discern and separate their own feelings from the feelings of others. Highly Sensitive People (HSP) are typically very empathic or intuitive, and often times unaware they are deeply feeling other people's life experiences. This can lead to frequently feeling overwhelmed, tired, withdrawn as well as other physical symptoms. Working together we can explore ways to understand your sensitivity and how to live free of these and other symptoms.

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Have you often been told you are sensitive? Has life felt especially overwhelming these last few years? There is so much going on in the world in addition to the personal things we are dealing with day to day. Being highly sensitive may look like taking in the feelings of other people, thinking and processing deeply, and often feeling overwhelmed by these deep experiences. High sensitivity can often feel like a double edge sword of feeling both the immense beauty and pain of life. Learning more about your sensitivity and how to support your individual and relational needs may help. I'm here to support you as a fellow highly sensitive human.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Highly sensitive people are at greater risk for overwhelm and burnout. You may feel shut down by stress and conflict, and you may become overstimulated by absorbing the emotions of people around you. I can help you build resilience by creating healthy boundaries and regulating your nervous system to maintain calm and take a break from overthinking. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from old unhelpful patterns, and helping you to maintain a peaceful, happy life.

Dan Safavi
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-22108
If you tend to feel things deeply, become easily overstimulated, or need more time to process emotions and experiences, therapy can help you better understand and work with that sensitivity. I help highly sensitive clients develop stronger boundaries, regulate overwhelm, and use sensitivity as a source of awareness rather than treating it as something that needs to be fixed.

When You Feel Everything Deeply
If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” “too emotional,” or that you “care too much,” you may be what’s known as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) — someone whose nervous system is more finely tuned to the world around them. I understand this on a personal level — I’m an HSP myself. Being highly sensitive is not a flaw; it’s a temperament trait shared by about 20% of people. It means your mind and body process information and emotion more deeply. You notice subtleties, feel others’ moods, and reflect deeply — yet that same sensitivity can make life feel overwhelming, especially when faced with stress, criticism, or conflict.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you embrace sensitivity as a strength while learning tools to manage its challenges. Together, we’ll focus on:
Calming the inner critic that tells you you’re “too much”
Reducing anxiety and emotional exhaustion from overstimulation
Setting healthy boundaries without guilt
Building confidence to share your true self with others
Developing emotional tools that turn sensitivity into insight and intuition
Our work will be both structured and gentle — blending neuroscience, mindfulness, and humor to help you feel grounded, capable, and at peace in your own skin.
I BELIEVE:
Sensitivity is not weakness — it’s awareness, empathy, and depth.
You can be both strong and soft, confident and cautious, independent and deeply connected.
Boundaries are not walls; they’re invitations to authentic connection.
You deserve a life that feels calm, balanced, and safe for your sensitive nervous system.
Healing doesn’t mean hardening — it means learning to stay open without being overwhelmed.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach
